Since , crossbow regulations have been expanded for hunters across the state

Here are the main provisions regarding crossbow legalization in Michigan: The minimum age for crossbow use has been lowered from 12 to 10 years of age statewide. The use of crossbows has been expanded to all legal hunters during all archery and firearms seasons statewide, except in the Upper Peninsula, where crossbow use will remain prohibited during the late archery and muzzleloader seasons, unless the hunter is disabled. In the Upper Peninsula, crossbows may only be used by anyone 50 years of age or older during the Oct. 1-Nov. 14 bow hunting deer season statewide. Hunters using crossbows are still required to obtain a free crossbow stamp. The stamp, which is free, will help the DNR monitor and survey crossbow hunters.
